Computer networks for an apartment or house

The point of building a computer network in your home is to build a foundation for transmitting and storing data. The data can be different: photos or videos from trips stored on your favorite network storage, movies or music by subscription from the Internet, the Internet itself. Such a home network can be the basis for a video surveillance system. And so on.

Wireless solutions, which have been actively promoted in recent years, are good for everything except reliability. It is also possible to build a highly reliable and fast wireless system, but its cost will be several times higher than the price of a good wired system..

This doesn't mean that wireless solutions should be abandoned. It is difficult to imagine a modern house without a WiFi network. But it is worth shifting to the wireless segment only Internet access from mobile devices, and use a wired network for everything else.

The next common mistake is wanting to "put twisted pair everywhere just in case". And often by the same workers who lay the electrics. As a result, the customer will be sure that he has all the cables laid. But at the end of the repair, it often happens that the wrong type of twisted pair is used, the twisted pair itself is of poor quality (they saved a lot because they didn’t really understand the difference), and some of the cables simply don’t work because they were damaged during installation.

Using "home class" network devices in management systems is another common mistake. It is one thing if you use a household router with a built-in WiFi point for Internet access from a tablet, and another if your entire automation system and audio-video multiroom system uses a computer network as the foundation for its work, to receive high-resolution audio materials or video from streaming services like Netflix in 4k resolution. In the latter case, the performance of household models may not be enough, and it is better to use network equipment such as SMB (Small Medium Business).

Output
